Can we help get your infra cost down to negligible? I'm thinking things like pre-generated static pages and CDNs. I won't assume you hadn't thought of this before, but I'd like to understand more where your non-trivial infra cost come from?

I would be tempted to try and optimise this as well. 100000 hits on an empty domain and ~200 dollars worth of bot traffic sounds wild. Are they using JS-enabled browsers or sim farms that download and re-download images and videos as well?
